Academic Foundation

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) was formally introduced in November 2023 through academic research from Princeton University, Georgia Tech, Allen Institute for AI, and IIT Delhi.

Key Research Findings:

• 30-40% visibility improvement through GEO optimization techniques
• Tested on GEO-bench benchmark (10,000 queries across diverse domains)
• Presented at 30th ACM SIGKDD Conference (August 2024)
• Top 3 Methods (most effective):
  1. Cite Sources: 115% visibility increase for lower-ranked sites
  2. Add Quotations: Especially effective for People & Society domains
  3. Include Statistics: Most beneficial for Law and Government topics

Source: Princeton Study on Generative Engine Optimization (2023)

Market Impact:

• 1,200% growth in AI-sourced traffic (July 2024 - February 2025)
• AI platforms now drive 6.5% of organic traffic (projected 14.5% within a year)
• 27% conversion rate from AI traffic vs 2.1% from standard search
• 58% of Google searches end without a click (AI provides instant answers)

GEO vs SEO: Key Differences

Aspect	Traditional SEO	Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
Target	Search engine crawlers	Large Language Models (LLMs)
Ranking Factor	Keywords, backlinks, PageRank	E-E-A-T, citations, factual accuracy
Content Focus	Keyword density, meta tags	Natural language, structured facts, quotations
Success Metric	SERP position, click-through	AI citation frequency, share of voice
Optimization	Title tags, H1, meta description	Quotable statements, data points, sources
Discovery	Crawlers + sitemaps	RAG systems + real-time retrieval
Backlinks	Critical ranking factor	Minimal direct impact
Freshness	Domain-dependent	Critical (3.2x more citations for 30-day updates)
Schema Markup	Helpful	Near-essential

Source: Based on analysis of 29 research studies (2023-2025)

Four-Phase GEO Process

Phase 0: Post Type Detection (2-3 min) - NEW

Objective: Identify article's post type to adapt Princeton methods and component recommendations.

Actions:

1. Load Post Type from Category Config:

   # Check if category.json exists
   CATEGORY_DIR=$(dirname "$ARTICLE_PATH")
   CATEGORY_CONFIG="$CATEGORY_DIR/.category.json"
   
   if [ -f "$CATEGORY_CONFIG" ]; then
     POST_TYPE=$(grep '"postType"' "$CATEGORY_CONFIG" | sed 's/.*: *"//;s/".*//')
   fi
   

2. Fallback to Frontmatter:

   # If not in category config, check article frontmatter
   if [ -z "$POST_TYPE" ]; then
     FRONTMATTER=$(sed -n '/^---$/,/^---$/p' "$ARTICLE_PATH" | sed '1d;$d')
     POST_TYPE=$(echo "$FRONTMATTER" | grep '^postType:' | sed 's/postType: *//;s/"//g')
   fi
   

3. Infer from Category Name (last resort):

   # Infer from category directory name
   if [ -z "$POST_TYPE" ]; then
     CATEGORY_NAME=$(basename "$CATEGORY_DIR")
     case "$CATEGORY_NAME" in
       *tutorial*|*guide*|*how-to*) POST_TYPE="actionnable" ;;
       *vision*|*future*|*trend*) POST_TYPE="aspirationnel" ;;
       *comparison*|*benchmark*|*vs*) POST_TYPE="analytique" ;;
       *culture*|*behavior*|*psychology*) POST_TYPE="anthropologique" ;;
       *) POST_TYPE="actionnable" ;; # Default
     esac
   fi
   

Output: Post type identified (actionnable/aspirationnel/analytique/anthropologique)

Phase 1: Source Authority Analysis + Princeton Methods (5-7 min)

Objective: Establish content credibility for AI citation using proven techniques

Actions:

1. Apply Princeton Top 3 Methods (30-40% visibility improvement)

   Post Type-Specific Princeton Method Adaptation (NEW):

   • Priority: Code blocks (5+) + Callouts + Citations
   • Method #1: Cite Sources - 5-7 technical docs, API references, official guides
   • Method #2: Quotations - Minimal (1-2 expert quotes if relevant)
   • Method #3: Statistics - Moderate (2-3 performance metrics, benchmarks)
   • Component Focus: code-block, callout, citation
   • Rationale: Implementation-focused content needs working examples, not testimonials

   For Aspirationnel (postType: "aspirationnel"):

   • Priority: Quotations (3+) + Citations + Statistics
   • Method #1: Cite Sources - 5-7 thought leaders, case studies, trend reports
   • Method #2: Quotations - High priority (3-5 visionary quotes, success stories)
   • Method #3: Statistics - Moderate (3-4 industry trends, transformation data)
   • Component Focus: quotation, citation, statistic
   • Rationale: Inspirational content needs voices of authority and success stories

   For Analytique (postType: "analytique"):

   • Priority: Statistics (5+) + Comparison table (required) + Pros/Cons
   • Method #1: Cite Sources - 5-7 research papers, benchmarks, official comparisons
   • Method #2: Quotations - Minimal (1-2 objective expert opinions)
   • Method #3: Statistics - High priority (5-7 data points, comparative metrics)
   • Component Focus: statistic, comparison-table (required), pros-cons
   • Rationale: Data-driven analysis requires objective numbers and comparisons

   For Anthropologique (postType: "anthropologique"):

   • Priority: Quotations (5+ testimonials) + Statistics (behavioral) + Citations

Token Optimization

Load Minimally:

• Research report frontmatter + full content
• Constitution for voice/tone requirements
• Only necessary web search results

Avoid Loading:

• Full article drafts
• Historical research reports
• Unrelated content

Target: Complete GEO brief in ~15k-20k tokens

---

Error Handling

Research Report Missing

• Check .specify/research/[topic]-research.md exists
• If missing, inform user to run /blog-research first
• Exit gracefully with clear instructions

Insufficient Research Quality

• If research has < 3 sources, warn user
• Proceed but flag authority concerns in brief
• Recommend additional research

Web Search Unavailable

• Proceed with research-based analysis only
• Note limitation in brief
• Provide general GEO recommendations

Constitution Missing

• Use default tone: "pédagogique"
• Warn user in brief
• Recommend running /blog-setup or /blog-analyse

---

User Decision Cycle

When to Ask User

MUST ask user when:

• Research quality is insufficient (< 3 credible sources)
• Topic requires specialized technical knowledge beyond research
• Multiple valid content structures exist
• Depth vs breadth tradeoff isn't clear from research
• Target audience ambiguity (beginners vs experts)

Decision Template

️  User Decision Required

**Issue**: [Description of ambiguity]

**Context**: [Why this decision matters for GEO]

**Options**:
1. [Option A with GEO implications]
2. [Option B with GEO implications]
3. [Option C with GEO implications]

**Recommendation**: [Your suggestion based on GEO best practices]

**Question**: Which approach best fits your content goals?

[Wait for user response before proceeding]

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Depth vs Breadth

️  User Decision Required

**Issue**: Content structure ambiguity

**Context**: Research covers 5 major subtopics. AI systems prefer depth but also comprehensive coverage.

**Options**:
1. **Deep Dive**: Focus on 2-3 subtopics with extensive detail (better for AI citations on specific topics)
2. **Comprehensive Overview**: Cover all 5 subtopics moderately (better for broad query matching)
3. **Hub and Spoke**: Overview here + link to separate detailed articles (best long-term GSO strategy)

**Recommendation**: Hub and Spoke (option 3) - creates multiple citation opportunities across AI queries

**Source**: Based on multi-platform citation analysis (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews)

**Question**: Which approach fits your content strategy?

Scenario 2: Technical Level

️  User Decision Required

**Issue**: Target audience technical level unclear

**Context**: Topic can be explained for beginners or experts. AI systems cite content matching query sophistication.

**Options**:
1. **Beginner-Focused**: Extensive explanations, basic examples (captures "how to start" queries)
2. **Expert-Focused**: Assumes knowledge, advanced techniques (captures "best practices" queries)
3. **Progressive Disclosure**: Start simple, go deep (captures both query types)

**Recommendation**: Progressive Disclosure (option 3) - maximizes AI citation across user levels

**Question**: What's your audience's primary technical level?
